Basics of Writing Fiction *NEW*

Writing fiction can be frustrating (and immensely rewarding). First you have to figure out the story you want to tell, then you have to figure out how to get it out of your imagination and into the words that will make a reader see it and feel it the way you do. There are techniques that can help. During this course, you’ll learn brainstorming exercises to develop a story idea, strategies for plotting and character development, and techniques for bringing scenes to life. In each class you’ll have the chance to practice your skills with writing prompts and story starters.

The registration fee is $49.
